Re: Auto Complete

Auto Complete still exists in Windows XP and Windows Media center.
You can find Auto Complete in Tools > Internet options of Internet Explorer.
It is on the Content tab.

I don't know if Auto Complete works in anything other than Internet Explorer
when you are on web pages.

Hey James
Thanks for responding. The first response I received may have had good
intentions, but I felt a condescending tone. In all honesty , I reviewed
my
post and saw a lack of detail. My question is not about any e-mail
program.
It is about Windows XP "Auto Complete". The part of windows that
functions
like the old "DOS Key" . It holds things in it's memory and anticipates
your
typing. In the case of passwords it offers the opportunity to save
usernames
and passwords. When a mistake is made, it does not allow correction. So.
for
example if one types in:

USERNAME: johnboe
PASSWORD: password

Then allows the "save username and password. when in fact the correct
information was:

USERNAME: jondoe
PASSWORD: password

Not only does it not allow a change. it does not even offer an opportunity
to save a username that is very similar. I was giving an example of the
last
case I last encountered. In reflection I should have been more clear. I am
not asking about any other program. I am asking about Microsoft Windows XP
Media Center "Auto Complete" function.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. There are still those of us
that remember the control held over the old operating systems. In
retrospect
I do realize that some of my questions regarding newer OSs may have seemed
as
though I was seeking more rudimentary information.
Thanks again
Doc

OK... I read that. Now how is this the wrong place to ask a question
about
a
problem with the Windows XP Media Center... Auto Complete feature?

I accidently typed in an incorrect e-mail address. I then chose to
save
address and password. When I realized there was a typo in the
address I
deleted it. The system will not ask me to save it again. Is there a
way
arround this?
Thanks
